EMS responded and treated all the patients for moderate injuries on the scene.
With all these accident that we’ve suffered with the past couple of weeks, we would like to take some time to ask drivers and pedestrians alike to be more vigilant.

It is not a good idea to keep a tzedakah box in your car, suv, mini van or any vehcal for that matter. People see it in your car and brake into it please don’t not keep lose change or money on the front seat hide it in the glovebox so it is out of sight and it will save you people a lot of hardace.

To Dont Be So Stupid: What you say that is its not a good idea to keep a tzedakah box in your car b/c pepole see it and break in etc.. very simple just keep the tzedakah box in your glove compartment and that way it wont be seen!!!. besides the Rebbe anted everyone to have a chitas, mezuzah , tzedakah box, in their car.
In response to Don-t do...
to "Don’t do….", what the Rebbe says is what we have to do…. so don’t keep a Tzedakah box in a shul cuz’ someone can rob it. Don’t leave money makes sense… But a Tzedaka box is protection and it doesn’t have to be in a place where people see it from the outside…
advice!
respect for your fellows comment!
bh no one was hurt! drive safely hope for the best and dont just go for drives, a car is a makom sakona! use it if u need to not just for cruises!
little tip!
